Pros

Excellent training available. Ability to make more money. Freedom to manage your route and day to day schedule.

Cons

You have to ask for the training. My training was being thrown into the night shift and learning everything on my own at night because no one would be willing to come out and train you. You can make more money. But you have to work a lot of hours and cover other peoples work. Even if you some times don’t have the time to.

Pros

Opportunity to work for a well-established and respected industry leader with a strong reputation. Competitive pay with performance-based incentives and opportunities to increase earnings. Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development to build valuable skills. Clear career advancement opportunities into leadership, management, or specialized roles. Excellent teamwork and support from experienced colleagues and managers.

Cons

Long hours and overtime may be required during peak pest control seasons. Daily exposure to pests, insects, rodents, and tight or uncomfortable spaces may not be suitable for everyone. Meeting sales or performance goals can be stressful, especially in customer-facing roles. Work schedules may include evenings or weekends to accommodate customer needs.
